Hundreds of years ago, the Liu family of the royal family was just a small prince on the side of peace.

At that time, Yasukuni was in constant war and the people were in dire straits. The great ancestor Liu Min followed the general trend of the world and rose up to conquer the world. At that time, natural disasters and man-made disasters occurred frequently, and the people died. Many merchants deliberately hoarded commercial grain, bought at low prices and sold at high prices, and made money from it. Benefits, but turned a blind eye to starvation everywhere.Gaozu was furious, and after succeeding to the throne, he commented that "businessmen are all profit-seeking, treacherous and cunning".

A few hundred years is enough for Yasukuni to develop into a great country. The people of Yasukuni live in peace and contentment, and the business is gradually prosperous. In a foreign country, the income focus of the imperial treasury gradually shifted from agricultural taxes to commercial taxes.

For this reason, the imperial court reduced and exempted the common people's taxes every year, and the light corvee and thin tax were very popular among the people. Cheng Zu Liu Guang's vision was open, and his attitude towards businessmen also changed from dark to clear.

In the 20th year of Chonghua, an earthquake occurred in Chongzhou. Shen Mingde, the richest man in Jingguo, donated half of his net worth to Emperor Chengzu to help the victims. All over the world, the ban on 'businessmen are not allowed to be officials' has been lifted.

As soon as this order came out, it was what the people wanted. For a while, businessmen and people rushed to tell each other, which really triggered a wave of entrance exams and education.

The same is true for Anfu.

However, from the 20 years of Chonghua to the present, it has only been five years, and it is not enough for the An family to raise a legitimate scholar official.

There have been three, six, nine classes of people since ancient times, the first class is the royal family, the second class is the imperial court official, the third class is the high-ranking mansion, the fourth class is the green red gauze hat, the fifth class is the wealthy businessman Baiding, the sixth class is the innocent common people, the seventh class is the common people, and the eighth class Such as refugees and lowly status, ninth-class prostitutes and actors.

One of the richest people in Anfu, among the ninth class, belongs to the fifth-class wealthy businessman Baiding, which means that An's family is clean and has no criminal record.

But only so much.

The difference between the fifth class and the fourth class is also a world of difference.

The fourth-class blue-red gauze hat refers to some businessmen whose families have scholars, and some wealthy people who are ranked well in the country and have paid huge amounts of offerings to the imperial court, or donated military supplies, such as imperial merchants. Shen family.

Anfu is considered rich in Luoyang, but Anfu is not qualified for any of the green and red gauze hats.

These ninth-class people are not only good-looking names, not to mention anything else, only the fourth and fifth classes are also merchants, but the taxes paid to the court are not the same ratio. Compared with the fifth class, the fourth class When the scope of business that the merchant can operate is obviously wider, the profit margin will be larger, and with the support of the imperial court, it is naturally more convenient than others to operate the business.

This is the reason why Anfu wants to change from the fifth class to the fourth class.

In the matter of winning over court officials, from the deceased old man to An Jinqing's father, An Pinfu, An's mansion is willing to spend all their money. The next crop of good luck.

At that time, businessmen were not allowed to become officials, so the old man felt disappointed. Besides doing business, he also liked to hang out with the students who danced and wrote. There were also some students from poor families who were studying. The student did make friends with a few, and Wang Yuan was one of them.

It's just that decades have passed, and those casual relationships have become more and more shallow. Since the old man passed away, the only one who can be called the number one is the University Scholar Wang Yuan.

This Wang Yuan was written in An Jinqing's profile, and he was the bachelor Wang Yuan who gave An Jinqing a high-quality inkstone to encourage him to study.

Wei Shuangxing reckoned that the reason why An's father remembered to ask him to attend the dinner party might be because An Jinqing, a ten thousand-year-old cannon fodder, once had such an affair with Wang Yuan. Remembering the memories of the past, thinking about the hardships of the year, and remembering the kindness of others.

This is the first time for Wei Shuangxing to enter the main hall of the mansion. Now it is the turn of spring and summer. The An mansion is from shallow to deep. There are a lot of flowers everywhere, and the rockery is exquisitely carved, and it is thriving.Perhaps it is in response to the name of the old lady's birthday, and the decorations in Anfu began early. The green pine cycads, nanmu chungui, and the flowered walls and corridor trees along the way all take the meaning of longevity.

The golden chrysanthemums are blooming for the first time, the white cranes are auspicious clouds, and the two brocade groups are embracing each other, beaming with joy, which makes people feel refreshed when they see it.

The meeting place was in the main hall of Anfu. The servants and maids I met along the way were all silent, well-dressed, and their expressions were more cautious than usual, and Wangcai, who followed Wei Shuangxing all the way, walked All relaxed a lot.

Wei Shuangxing's status in Anfu was not high, and there were few people who came up to chat with him along the way, so he walked freely. Wangcai walked with his head down and gave instructions, talking about some etiquette that should be paid attention to at the banquet, so he just Following the crowd, there is no need to stand out or speak. At the end, I specially reminded him that even if he sees the bachelor Wang Yuan, he should not rush forward to chat and question him, lest he will cause trouble.

Wei Shuangxing agreed in his heart, not to mention that he didn't know how deep the friendship between Wang Yuan and the old man was, even if they were hard-core brothers, after all, they were only friends after all, so what did the rest of the people in Anfu have to do with him.

If the relationship between the two families is really close, then Wang Yuanda can accept An Jinyang as a disciple, and he will recommend him to directly join Zhongjing Chunwei. Wouldn't it be much easier for Anfu?

Wei Shuangxing went up the steps, looked up and met Shi Yi's gaze on the side of the corridor, Shi Yi was chatting with An Jinwen outside the corridor, An Jinwen had a bright smile on his face, the two seemed to be having a good time talking .

Shi Yi was a difficult person for An Jinqing, and Wei Shuangxing couldn't get any benefits, so he didn't plan to talk to him, and walked straight in.

Shi Yi has been restless since An Jinqing came in. If An Jinqing's cold eyes were not similar to that night, he really thought that what happened last night was a weird and weird nightmare...

Shi Yi watched An Jinqing walk in front of him expressionlessly, his heart felt hot, and he couldn't help calling out, "Brother Qing!"

Shi Yi ignored An Jinwen's surprised exclamation, and caught up with Wei Shuangxing in a few steps, and walked around in front of Wei Shuangxing to block Wei Shuangxing's way.

Wei Shuangxing stared at Shi Yi in front of him, thinking to himself that next time if the system gave him an amnesia pill or something, he would definitely give it to Shi Yi to eat. Just don't hang around in front of him.

Shi Yi stared coldly and deeply at the guards, and his footsteps were as if they were pinned, unable to move half a minute. After a while, he said in a hoarse voice, "Brother Qing, you...don't you have anything to say?"

Not here to find fault.

When Wei Shuangxing came to such a conclusion, his eyes became deeper and deeper. A person who was stepped on by you, not only did not come to find fault, but calmly posted him to talk to you.

Wei Shuangxing automatically ignored the former, and only looked at Shi Yi who was blocking the way, feeling a little impatient.

Wangcai tugged on his young master's sleeve, looked at the unkind young man in front of him, and asked with his eyes, who is this?

A colorful dung beetle.Wei Shuangxing answered in his heart, and grinned at Shi Yi, "Brother Shi, how is it?"

Shi Yi naturally knew what Wei Shuangxing asked if it was all right, his face turned blue at first, then turned red, and finally he smiled and said, "It's okay, Brother Qing, don't worry."

An Jinwen stood aside and watched the two people come and go, secretly clenched his fists, his eyes fell on Shi Yi's neck again, the jealousy in his eyes couldn't be hidden even more, he looked at Wei Shuangxing's His eyes were like poisonous arrows, wishing to kill him immediately.

Wei Shuangxing followed An Jinwen's gaze. Shi Yi was wearing a scholar's uniform today, which couldn't cover the bloodstains on his neck. He was obviously injured. Why should An Jinwen be jealous?
